Meri Demiral, the Al-Ahli defender, sustained a new injury to his adductor muscle during team training, causing concern within the coaching staff.

The player underwent radiological examinations on Monday evening at a medical center in Jeddah after experiencing pain following the team's last training session.

Reports indicated that the current injury differs from the previous one that sidelined him for a while, while the medical team awaits the final report to determine the duration of his absence.

Demiral missed nine matches this season due to a previous groin injury he sustained against Al-Khaleej in the seventeenth round.

The Turkish defender recently returned to participate in the match against Riyadh in the twenty-fourth round, before suffering a new setback.

Al-Ahli is preparing to face Al-Ittihad in the Jeddah Derby next Friday at Al-Inma Stadium, as part of the twenty-fifth round of the league.
